Editing an Equation

When editing, keep the following in mind:
  • Dimension names must be enclosed in quotes.
  • Equations are solved left to right (that is, the dimension on the left is driven by the value on the right).
  • Equations are solved in the order in which they appear in the Ordered View. You can change the order, if necessary.

To edit an equation:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Click Equations OTTool_Equations_Tools.gif (Tools toolbar).

  2. Select the Equation View equations_view_icon.
